Bill Douglas--composer, pianist, and bassoonist--excels at sentimental, romantic music. Deep Peace, a collection of modern classical compositions both instrumental and choral, fits in snugly with the musician's rather prolific output of slightly cloying melody. Drawing on his jazz background, love of folk music, and lyrical language, Douglas finds inspiration in the poetry of William Butler Yeats, Robert Burns, William Blake, and Alfred Graves. The Ars Nova Singers, a Boulder, Colorado, choral group, function here as on Douglas's Earth Prayer as another instrument used to relate the largesse of sound as worship, celebration, and tender feeling. Traditional, skilled, and dynamic, the Singers are well suited to the composer's majestic orchestral canvas. This baker's dozen--lively, reverent, and overall sweetly harmonious--is sandwiched between two versions of the title cut, a traditional Gaelic blessing, effectively setting the blissful tone for these Celtic-tinged pieces of the whole. --Paige La Grone

Unbelievably peaceful November 11, 2008
I am taking a class as a Spiritual Director within the Christian faith. I initially heard Deep Peace in one of my classes, at the beginning, to usher the attendees into an attitude of peace and silence. Boy did it ever work. I searched music stores to find it, but could only find on Amazon. This is my absolutely favorite CD. I am ordering another tonight for my pastor. The music, the voices, wonderful. BUY IT, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Deeply evokative of the title. September 4, 2008
This blend of music is choral, yet the words are sort of a chant, done in such a way as to blend with the music to evoke a feeling of profound peace. Other tracks are instrumental. You really get what you might expect with this CD. I always feel happy when I listen to it. This can be used as background music to work to and feel peaceful with, because it is not so one dimensional that it is irritating, nor is it designed to evoke a trance, like some meditative music, although it could be appropriate to meditate with, if one were so inclined. In a nutshell, it creates a background feeling of peace. Do with it as you please.
 lovely cd June 23, 2008
While this is obviously tailored towards a stress filled society and is to be recommended for that, I personally enjoy the relaxing music which I found by accident on www.borntosingmusic.com The two cds I possess from this site have a variety of stunning sounds tailored towards the relaxation market which I can recommend anyone who is searching into this particular genre. These cds are highly recommended and great to sleep or meditate too.

A Gorgeous Piece of Work February 1, 2008
This may be the most relaxing CD I've ever heard. The melodies are gorgeous, the choral work and the production is beautiful as is the cover art. This is the complete package and it totally lives up to it's title.
